This marks the second extension of the tariffs since thier announcement on April 2,with the first delay pushing the deadline to July 9. So far, few deals have been finalized, but letters have been sent to leaders of Japan and South Korea informing them of an impending 25% tariff unless an agreement is reached beforehand.
